Project Portfolio Management (PPM)


Project Portfolio Management (PPM) involves methods and practices that project  managers and project management organizations use for analyzing and collectively managing a group of current or proposed projects based on numerous characteristics. The fundamental objective of the PPM process is to determine the optimal mix and sequencing of proposed projects to best achieve the organization's overall goals - expressed in terms of hard economic measures, business strategy goals, or technical strategy goals - while honoring constraints imposed by management or external real-world factors.  Implementing PPM best practices is critical in project-intensive industries like construction, oil & gas and others.
